Once again it was overcast this morning but with a high pressure hanging over the Lake District, it ensured the lakes and tarns remained calm and made for some excellent reflections as I was passing. Once up on the summit of Lingmoor Fell, the clouds eventually caught up with us and the higher fells all seemed to have their head in the clouds today.

Little Langdale Tarn was polished like a mirror yet the clouds above in Greenburn were swirling around.

At Blea Tarn - it's a pity the Langdales were missing in action!
From the set of the Hollywood blockbuster 'Snow White and the Huntsman', currently being filmed in the Lake District. What a great backdrop, can't wait to see how Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron enjoyed it here!
